Since Nostalgia Central began in 1998, we have been fortunate to receive a number of favourable mentions in newspapers, magazines and at other websites such as the BBC and Yahoo. We have also provided "expert opinions" and other contributions for a number of national and international radio shows.

Unlike "professional" talking-heads such as Mark Lawson, Robert Elms and Paul Ross who delight in their 'witty' and 'politically-correct' revisionist observations on television and pop culture of the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, Nostalgia Central prides itself on objectivity. It's all too easy to judge historical works and events by the standards of today. But here at Nostalgia Towers we despise revisonism.

In the firm belief that the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about, we bring you a selection of reviews from around the world . . .

So you're a fashionably dispossessed Gen - Xer who likes retro music and style for the rehabilitative qualities or irony. Want to know what it was really like being a kid back then? Head to NOSTALGIA CENTRAL, where Brit David Turner reminisces about growing up during the '60s in the north of England, with a special emphasis on music, television and pop culture.

His writings are incisive and entertaining, and the site is remarkably thorough . . . There are also some intriguing historical time lines, so you might actually learn something. 

Nostalgia Central offers a funny and sentimental look at American, British and Australian pop culture from the 1960s to the '80s. There's a growing number of pages on mainstream and cult classics in music, television and more. The Sixties music section features the Beach Boys, the Who and more obscure names like The Tremeloes. Read band biographies and listen to music clips . . . The site includes priceless pictures, albeit not always of the best quality. Bottom line: Take a groovy trip through three decades of pop culture.

Do you remember Pac Man, The A-team and The Monkees? Relive these elements of pop culture at Nostalgia Central. The site is a trip down memory lane, detailing the music, movies and TV shows of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Surf around and reminisce about the good old days.

If you harbour fond recollections of a time gone by (whether you were there or not), join me on a stroll down the Web's virtual Memory Lane. Those were the days, my friends-they need not ever end. This site is centered around British, American, and Australian TV, movies, music, toys, and popular culture . . .

David Turner’s major site for collective memory encompassing TV, Music, Movies Comics etc. to be recalled if you grew up in the 60’s, 70’s 80’s or 90’s. Andy Pandy’s  signature tune, a poignant farewell to us all, Time to go home, echoes through time (as a .wav file) to ex-children everywhere  

The British Council recommends Nostalgia Central as a study link.

Children of the 1960s, don’t fret. Someone actually remembers what happened in your golden decade. Matter-of-factly, they recorded it all and archived it at "Nostalgia Central." Take a trip down memory lane, or figure out what to retro next, at this site listing popular culture chestnuts from the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s. And, for some reason, children of the 1980s, the mullet isn’t listed as a cultural icon anywhere in your decade. Hmmm…

If you're planning a different kind of theme evening - on the sixties, seventies or eighties - find all the inspiration you need at Nostalgia Central. It has a section on each of those decades with TV, music, movies, pop culture and news. 

And because its creator comes from Yorkshire, it's not too transatlantic either

 

Nostalgia Central is known as a “Time Machine” where you’ll find a scrapbook of trips from the “Swinging Sixties,” as well as the “Mirror-balled Seventies,” and the “Day-Glo Eighties.” This nostalgic which provides a blast from the past with music, television, and movies prides itself on motto “Living in the past... and loving it” and basis its research on the Greek words “nostos” which means homecoming, and “algos” for pain in reference to a lost era.

As we live in the present, you’ll find the past to be a place where we’ve all once traveled, and lived vicariously through reminiscing our history through which may be best described as another country. Homer Simpson once said, “Every time you learn something new it pushes something old out of your brain.”

. . . Sections include News, Pop Culture, Music, Television, Movies, Year by Year, Audio, Shop, and Club

You'll love this site devoted to all things 70s . . .

. . . If you think you have a good memory of 70s TV/films/music and fads, pop along to this site and I'll bet webmaster David Turner will surprise you with details of those you forgot about! And if that wasn't enough, he does the same for the 60s and 80s. A must see site!

This site is full of useless but fun information about shows like M*A*S*H, The Partridge Family, The Six Million Dollar Man . . . even Number 96!
